Impellers

The purpose of mixing impellers is to transfer the energy provided by the motor to the product in the most efficient way in order to produce the desired effect in the least amount of time. Also called agitator blades, each mixing impeller type converts the energy given to it in a different way. A hydrofoil converts most of the energy into motion of the product and very little into shear. A three bladed propeller will convert more of the energy into shear than the hydrofoil but still mostly produces motion.

The axial flow turbines and radial flow turbines devote a higher ratio to shear and a dispersion blade is almost completely devoted to shear production. Mechanical considerations may also affect the agitator blade selection as in the case of a folding impeller being utilized to fit into a tank through a small aperture.

MixerDirect has recently released MixerGenius v2.1, proprietary software developed to allow our sales engineers to quickly get to an engineered solution for your application. Agitator blade sizing can be quickly accomplished while you are on the phone for almost any of the types of impellers for sale that we carry.

The 3 bladed 316SS high efficiency impellers offer the greatest pumping per horsepower in the Mixer Direct impeller line. They are used in a variety of applications from general blending to storage tanks. A low cost alternative to propellers in the larger sizes they are popular on the flange mount, plate mount and top entry lines.

The axial flow turbine is a classic medium shear impeller. Very effective in both low viscosity and high, this impeller allows a mixer to the break up agglomeration and impart solids effectively. They will draw more power per volume than the propellers or hydrofoils as motor power is converted to shear energy. This impeller has a reduced blade width (RBW)design to drop the power requirements at the same diameter.

The 3 bladed stainless square pitch impeller is the staple impeller for many mixing processes due to its efficiency and durability. Mixer Direct’s propellers are solid 316L for maximum corrosion resistance in most environments. Being left handed, they will pump in a downward direction when rotating clockwise. Almost every process industry utilizes this product in some capacity, from chemical and coatings, to pharmaceutical and construction.

The Radial flow turbine crates a radial flow pattern moving away from the impeller, towards the sides of the vessel. The flow impacts the side and moves in either an upward or downward direction to fill the top and bottom of the impeller and be ejected once more. Some applications benefit greatly from this type of action, namely gas dispersion. Radial flow turbines have a high horsepower draw relative to axial flow turbines and other axial flow impellers.

The 3 bladed stainless steep pitch impeller allows for additional flow out of the the same diameter propeller as compare to the Square pitch line.
